Seeing detailed information about a disk or volume

You can use Disk Utility to see detailed information about a disk or volume in your computer.

Depending on the type of disk or volume, the information includes its format, its total capacity and the amount of space available, and the number of folders and files on a volume. The S.M.A.R.T. status reports the general working condition of a disk.

In Disk Utility, select a disk or volume in the list, then click Info in the toolbar.

A summary of information about the selected disk or volume appears at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.

You can also use System Profiler to see information about your system's hardware and software.
